Real vs. Steal – Chloé Susan Studded Ankle Boots

by Irina on May 19, 2010

UPDATE: This post has been updated on May 19, 2010. Scroll down to read the news.

If you are familiar with the fashion blogosphere I’m pretty sure you will all remember the studded Chloé ankle boots below as they’ve created quite a buzz among fashion bloggers last year. Even though they cost over ONE THOURSAND a pair, people bought them like crazy and the boots soon were sold out everywhere.

The studded ankle boots were part of Chloé’s Pre-Fall 2008 collection and came in an array of colors like red, white, black and green (my personal favorite!).

Kate Bosworth & Sienna Miller Love Chloé

Famous fashionistas Kate Bosworth and Sienna Miller both sported the studded ankle boots in red. Kate was literally obsessed with those boots and wore them whenever possible last year. And can we blame her? They are so cute and both women looked absolutely fabulous wearing them, didn’t they?

Office Manic Stud Strap Boots

UPDATE (05/19/2010): Office have just restocked their awesome, almost identical Chloé knockoffs for the 4th time and reduced the price by £15. If you missed out on these in the past, this is probably your last chance to get hold of these booties.

Jeffrey Campbell “Starburst” Studded Booties

Free People always seems to get the best Jeffrey Campbell knockoffs. First they got the awesome Ann Deumeulemeester lace-up boots and now they sell knockoffs of the iconic Chloé studded ankle boots (Free People call this style “Northern Lights” while JC and other retailers named it “Starburst”).

Don’t they look almost identical? The heel is a bit off, but the studs and buckles are pretty close. The only downsides are that the Jeffrey Campbell studded booties don’t come in red and retail for not so affordable $198. But the boots are available in black, white and brown, so if you always wanted a budget-friendlier alternative, these Jeffrey Campbell knockoffs are probably your last and only chance as the Chloés are a couple of seasons old now.

Faith “MOROS” Studded Boots

UPDATE (10/12/2009): Found a high leg boot knockoff by Faith. Europeans & UKler, grab these boots while they’re still available!

Real vs. Steal – Giuseppe Zanotti Jeweled High Heel Sandals

by Vahni on May 18, 2010

UPDATE: This post has been updated on May 18, 2010. Scroll down to see the new adds.

Are these Giuseppe Zanotti jeweled sandals gorrr-jusss or what? I can just imagine them on a bride at a seaside wedding, or with a flowing caftan, with a summery cocktail in hand. They’re just so feminine and I love that they’re jeweled, but with a bit of an earthy feel. But $1.075? That’s practically the cost of a plane ticket to the coastal paradise where I imagine myself wearing these beauties.

Giuseppe Zanotti E00131 Jeweled High Heel Sandals
($1.075, Endless)

P.S.: Also available at Zappos & Farfetch.

ZiGiny “Spence” Dress Sandals

UPDATE (05/18/2010): Found a second, amazingly close knockoff by ZiGiny. Available in gold or black satin.

Carlos by Carlos Santana “Tango” Sandals

UPDATE (05/18/2010): Not a match in color, but the design of these dressy Carlos by Carlos Santana sandals is unmistakenly that of Zanotti. Available in black/black, black/white, bronze & turquoise.

Carlos by Carlos Santana “Tango” Sandals
($110, Endless)

P.S.: Also available at Shoebuy, Zappos, Shoes.com, Carlos Santana & Macy’s.

Kelsi Dagger “Grace” Platform Sandals

A wonderful alternative to Zanotti’s Jeweled High Heel Sandals are the “Grace” Platform Sandals by Kelsi Dagger. You still get the earthy feeling and lovely details at a price anyone can justify. Available in black, taupe and nude (shown).

Kelsi Dagger “Grace” Platform Sandals
($148.95, Endless)

P.S.: Also available at Overstock & REVOLVEClothing.

Faith “Laqueena” Satin Sandals

Another option are the “Laqueena” Satin Sandals by UK-based Faith. They’re more flashy than earthy, yes—but they could be the shining star in an otherwise simple (and neutral) outfit. Available in purple and orange satin.

Real vs. Steal – Chanel Spring 2010 Clogs

by Celine on May 9, 2010

UPDATE: This post has been updated on May 09, 2010. Scroll down to see the new add.

Some shoes take time to grow on me; others I want immediately. The studded clogs from Chanel‘s S/S 2010 runway fell into the latter category. I don’t know if it’s the 60s-70s clothes kick I’ve been on recently or maybe just the fact that I love how nude shoes of all kinds elongate the leg (that 4 inch heel helps too!) but I prayed to the fashion Gods above that someone would come out with a knock-off (the Chanel shoes being out of my budget and all). Usually my prayers of that kind get answered – by the Steve Maddens and Jeffrey Campbells of the world – and I was not disappointed…

Steve Madden “CECEILA” Wooden Clogs

UPDATE (03/26/2010): Woohoo! Another Chanel knock-off. This one’s by Steve Madden and it looks a lot like Jeffrey Campbell’s “CHARLIE” clog only that Madden’s version is a few bucks cheaper. Score!

UPDATE (03/26/2010): UK shoe retailer Faith also has a Chanel inspired clog.

Jeffrey Campbell “Karl” Clogs

UPDATE (02/27/2010): Jeffrey Campbell has released a new version of the Charlie clog named “Karl” with a raffia fabric upper in either navy or beige. So pretty!

Jeffrey Campbell “Charlie” Clogs

UPDATE (02/27/2010): Just learned that NORDSTROM now has the JC clogs in stock now for a budget-friendly $124.95 in black and tan. These are going to sell out quick, so order straight away.

I just received these Jeffrey Campbell “Charlie” clogs (I ordered them immediately after seeing them) and I have to tell you – they’re just as fabulous as I imagine Chanel’s to be. That scary 4 inch + heel is surprisingly comfortable to walk in and I just love their retro spirit. From the chunky wooden heel to the gold studs, these are truly an excellent knock-off. And for $178 (see retailers listed below for more prices), they’re really a steal. The clogs are available in either beige, black or tan.

Real vs. Steal – Sergio Rossi Zip Back Sandals

by Irina on April 11, 2010

UPDATE: This post has been updated on April 11, 2010. Scroll down to see the new add.

If you’re looking for a sexy pair of black high heels, these Sergio Rossi zip back sandals might be what you’re looking for. The criss cross straps add interest while the zipper that goes all the way down to the heel will grant you some “Ooooh!” and “Aaaah!” moments from fellow shoe aficionados.

Jessica Simpson “Deluth” Pumps

Every second shoe style from Jessica Simpson‘s shoe line is basically a knockoff. The “Deluth” pump is no exception. The heel might be thicker, but other than that they look almost like the Sergio Rossi back zip sandals.

Real vs. Steal – Maison Martin Margiela Covered Heel Wedge Booties

by Irina on February 28, 2010

UPDATE: This post has been updated on February 28, 2010. Scroll down to see the new adds.

The Spring 2008 wedge heel booties by Maison Martin Margiela below reminded me of legwarmers when I first saw them. I would have never thought they’d look so cute when put on until I saw Rachel Bilson flaunting her nude pair.

Ash Opium Wedge Ankle Booties

If you live in the UK (or Europe) and want to get your Maison Martin Margiela fix 4 less, try these ankle boots by Ash. Yes, they vary slightly as the ankle boot is higher and open in the back, but they’re still a good alternative compared to the originals. Currently on sale for £75 (~~£135~~).

Real vs. Steal – Camilla Skovgaard Zaha Open-Toe Booties

by Irina on December 29, 2009

UPDATE: This post has been updated on December 29, 2009. Scroll down to see the new add.

One year ago I was not familiar with Camilla Skovgaard shoes. This quickly changed when I saw more and more celebrities wearing her shoe designs on the red carpet. Of all the new and upcoming shoe designers that are currently out there, Camilla has the biggest potential to become one of my absolute favorite shoe designers among the likes of Giuseppe Zanotti, Brian Atwood or Christian Louboutin.

Steven by Steve Madden “LINORE” Booties

Steve Madden did again what he does best – copying designer shoes. And I must admit I really like his interpretation of the “Zaha” ankle booties. Not quite the cheapest, but the quality looks great, don’t you agree?

Nine West “Abi” Open-Toe Ankle Boots

If you want to save some more cash, you might find yourself liking these Camilla Skovgaard knockoffs by Nine West. The heel on these is thicker and they have a platform which the originals don’t have, but overall they’re still a good alternative to the pricey Skovgaard booties.

Real vs. Steal – Alexander McQueen Studded Platform Booties

by Irina on October 31, 2009

UPDATE: This post has been updated on December 10, 2009. Scroll down to see the new add.

It’s quite rare to find a designer who does not only great clothes, but also great shoes. The genius that is Alexander McQueen certainly belongs into this category. I always look forward to what he’s coming up with season after season.

His shoe designs are sometimes crazy, sometimes painfully cute or edgy or just badass like these grommet slingback booties below. But they are always unique. There is ONE thing that bugs me about his shoes though: the PRICE, of course! Despite being on sale, you’d still have to shell out more than $600 to own these kickass heels. Sadly, this is no option for me.

Not digging the gold hardware or the suede? Bebe’s “Belinda” Grommet Booties might fit your bill then. They have silver instead of gold grommets and the platform is hidden. These have also been messed up with a cone heel though it’s not as extreme as on the Steve Madden version.

They retail for $89 which is quite affordable and come in a multitude of colors including black, brown and purple suede as well as black and brown leather.

Real vs. Steal – Brian Atwood Miri Platform Ankle Boots

by Irina on September 20, 2009

Brian Atwood shoes – one day I am going to buy me a pair. Definitely! Whatever he comes up with each season, I find myself loving it obsessively. Brian Atwood sure is one of the most talented and most promising shoe designers right now. The platform ankle below boots are one of the many, many reasons you gotta love him. They are perfection! So high, but oh so delicate.

Faith “Sorena” Platform Ankle Booties

These ankle boots by Faith instantly reminded me of the above Brian Atwood platforms and I think they would serve as a great alternative for British/European Brian Atwood lovers who you can’t spend that mush cash on the real deal. They are a little bit pricey at £120, but still a lot cheaper than the Brian Atwood booties. If you prefer a different color, the ankle boots also come in black and purple.
